Perk Up Soon Shaker Card Tutorial
Who can resist a shaker card with a coffee theme? Hi, Margie here today! To create this card to brighten someone’s day! Featuring our Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. it covers my card front with edge-to-edge adhesive to secure my acetate in my shaker element. Let me show you.
What are Adhesive Sheets
Adhesive sheets provide a clear application of strong permanent clear adhesive for edge-to-edge coverage on die cuts, embellishments, photos, and papers…acetate too!
View the How to Use Adhesive Sheets video below.
Creating the Card Front
My card front is A2-sized (4.25 x 5.5 inch) so the Adhesive Sheet will cover most but not all of it which is fine. I only need it to cover the open areas. Peel off the liner and place a piece of 3.5 x 5.5-inch clear acetate over it. Designer’s Tip: use the round end of a bone folder to burnish the adhesive into the acetate to ensure secure hold.
With my shears, I cut a narrow strip from the 3D Foam Strips to add on the thinner borders of the card front. Then using the rest of the 3D Foam Strips I covered the rest of the card front. Set it aside.
Adding Shaker Mix to the Perk Up Soon Card
Cut a piece of 4.25 x 5.5-inch blue patterned paper and cover the white card base with Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft.. Next, add the cute coffee shaker sprinkles on the left side of the card front, and set it aside.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with Crafty Power Tape
The fun part begins! Apply a strip of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. vertically down the right side and trim the ends. Pour embossing powder, making sure to press down to secure, and tap off excess. With a heating tool, melt the powder. I love this technique and the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. does not melt or change its shape!
Finishing Touches
After assembling the card panel with the card base. Stamp the sentiment in a combination of the VersaMark ink and the same embossing powder on the blue patterned paper. Cut it into a strip and secure it with the Adhesive Lines. Add the heart and coffee beans using a combination of Adhesive Dots Micro and Adhesive Dots Small. Done!
Just a note: Maybe do the heat embossing on the card panel before adding acetate. Mine warped a little. LOL! #LessonLearned Thanks for stopping by! Keep scrolling for the Coffee Lovers’ Blog Hop info. Good Luck!
